I don't know where that kid gets his hair from. Anyway, Anke and I had a plan of going to the zoo this morning. It was early. It was raining. We thought we could wander around before the crowds showed up for Memorial Day Weekend. Umm... the crowds got up earlier than us. So we decided to check out Lauritzen Gardens instead. And it was a good choice.
The weather was mostly overcast while we were there with the occasional light sprinkle. The grey sky really offset all of the green. It was rather nice, and a bit romantic. There was a bird sanctuary, which was really mostly a turkey sanctuary. Many nice little
fountains and ponds with wather lillies. And the early stages of a Japanese garden with a fantastic gate and a small replica of Mt. Fuji. It's all very nice. I'll have to take Mom here sometime when she visits. I believe that she'd really enjoy it.
Also at Lauritzen Gardens is Kenefick Park which has two engines from Union Pacific. One is an old steam engine called Big Boy and the other is a diesel electric of the Centenial series. The Centenial engines are the larges deisel electric train engines in the world.
They were built specifically for Union Pacific. It is really hard to get a grasp of how huge these are unless you are right beside them.
